Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77
Answer:
ΔABC ~ ΔDEC
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : DE║AB
Statements Reasons
1). DE║AB 1). Given
2). ∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB 2). Corresponding angles
[Since DE║AB and AC is the transverse]
3). ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA 3). Corresponding angles
[Since DE║AB and BC is the transverse]
4). ΔABC ~ ΔDEC 4). By AA property of similarity
Hence ΔABC is similar to ΔDEC.
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract sales - expenses
200 - 12.5 = 187.5
2.5x = 187.5
Divide by 2.5 on both sides
187.5/2.5
x = 75
First let's rewrite it...
18a^2 + 20a + 8
Factor out a 2
2 (9a^2 + 10a + 4)
